Excellent thread- everyone should read.
🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact.
When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

COLD BLOODED MURDER: Here is a frame by frame account of a sadistic ICE Nazi who was looking for an excuse to murder Renee Nicole Good. Good was a legal observer who had been monitoring the Nazis in Minneapolis. 😳👇

Todd’s anger is palpable in this thread but his concerns are reasonable +timely. USA is on a razors edge with President ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️. He can’t be redacted from his responsibility for the violence yesterday + the hateful environment where citizenship depends on zip code , religion +the colour of skin
I was listening to the news tonight, and they were dissecting the video from Minneapolis. They ran down every second of the video and discussed who was doing what, what each player's intent seemed to be, and whether any of this went according normal ICE rules of engagement.

If 9 11 happened today I honestly believe the Republicans would celebrate on attack on democratic run states.
Rep. Randy Fine: "It's time for Americans to say 'enough,' and if you get in the way of the government repelling a foreign invasion, you're gonna end up just like that lady did yesterday."

In Europe, I suspect this kind of government harassment and unnecessary aggression towards pupils and teachers in a school would provoke nationwide school strikes.
“The move came after officials at Roosevelt High School said armed U.S. Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.” — www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Sunday Jan 4, when we were freaking out over the Venezuela military operstion, the Guardian published an exposé on the 32 people who died in ICE custody in 2025—the agency’s deadliest year in more than two decades
This article has short write-ups on every single one of the 32 people.
No pay wall.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.
